The borough dates from the London Government Act of 1899, and includes the greater part of the original ecclesiastical parish of St. Mary Battersea. Under the same Act Penge, formerly a hamlet of Battersea, was constituted a separate urban district...the curious anomalies of local government led to Penge's formation as a separate urban district and its transfer to the county of Kent in 1900. This would join London with neighbouring parishes in 1965. Penge was a wooded district, over which the tenants of Battersea Manor had common of pasture.

I believe this was originally a Watney pub known as the "British Flag," and was rebuilt in 1938. Redecorated inside and out in November 2015.

I have heard that it was briefly known as "Carey's 5" but don't know when. Local knowledge required please.
